GROW YOUR SUSTAINABILITY SKILLSET
Sustainability knowledge and a passion for change will give you a leg up. Companies are seeking skilled employees who can address and combat the risks of climate change, social injustice, and more.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR MBA SKILLS
Championing sustainability in your work takes knowledge of communications, the benefits of sustainable practices, and the risks involved with not acting. UT Austin courses will prepare you for that. MBA students can choose a variety of individual courses or concentrations to adapt their MBA into focused areas, including CleanTech, Social Enterprise, Corporate Social Responsibility, Energy Finance, and more. We suggest exploring MBA curriculum concentrations.
